# Analyzing Images

> Extract the full creative DNA from any saved image — color palette, composition, lighting, style, mood — and turn it into reusable prompts and brand assets.

Analysis turns a pretty picture into reusable creative DNA. Memo breaks down any saved inspiration into its visual components — the lighting setup, the color palette, the composition decisions — so you can understand why it works and apply those qualities to new work.

## What you get

Run analysis on any inspiration (\~1 credit) and you get back:

| Section               | What's extracted                                      |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| **Color palette**     | 6 hex swatches, click to copy any                     |
| **Generation prompt** | A copyable prompt that could recreate a similar image |
| **Composition**       | Layout, framing, perspective, focal point, depth      |
| **Style**             | Medium, aesthetic, era, references                    |
| **Lighting**          | Type, direction, quality, shadows, highlights         |
| **Mood**              | The overall feeling                                   |
| **Texture**           | Surface qualities and materials                       |
| **Elements**          | Subjects, objects, text overlays                      |
| **OCR text**          | Any text detected in the image                        |

## Running analysis

Open any inspiration and switch to the **Analyze** tab. If it hasn't been analyzed yet, click the analyze button. Results are saved permanently — you pay once, see the results forever.

Click **Re-analyze** at any time for a fresh pass.

## Copy as prompt

Each section has its own **Copy** button in the header. Click it to get a prompt-ready string for just that section — useful for grabbing the lighting setup without copying everything else.

The full generation prompt has its own copy button too.

Templates for each section:

* **Composition** — `"{layout} layout, {framing} framing, {perspective} perspective, {depth}"`
* **Style** — `"{medium}, {aesthetic} aesthetic, {era} era, inspired by {references}"`
* **Lighting** — `"{type} lighting, {direction}, {quality} quality, {shadows} shadows"`
* **Mood & Texture** — `"{mood} mood, {texture} texture"`
* **Elements** — `"Subjects: {subjects}. Objects: {objects}. Text: {text}"`

## Save as Style Reference

Click **Save as Style Reference** in the Analyze tab footer (or from the action bar below the panel). This does three things:

1. Auto-triggers analysis if none exists yet
2. Creates a **brand asset** from the inspiration plus its analysis data
3. Saves the extracted color palette to your workspace's brand colors

The inspiration becomes a first-class reference — available for @mention in Studio, carrying its full analysis as creative context.

## Using analysis in Studio

When you reference an analyzed image in Studio, the agent gets access to all of this data — not just the pixels. It can match the lighting setup, use the color palette as a constraint, or apply the composition style to a new subject.

This is where the system compounds. Save → analyze → reference → generate. Each step builds on the last.
